i heard you are using solaris at ceg from one of my freinds.
Those are old solaris machines got from SUN (we have a collaboration
with SUN). Windows is a lot better than them.
Absolutely!!
There is no advantage of using solaris on the desktop/workstation.
It is proprietary, in that respect no better than windows; the CDE
interface is horrible (far worse than windows) and the command line,
although slightly better than MS-DOS, is worse than linux because
it doesn't have GNU.

Q: Do you ever think about quantum computing?
Linus: I think that's a load of bull.
(From a Linux Lunacy cruise interview. After the presumptuous disparagement
of QC, Linus goes on to confuse it with DNA computing.)
